With 16+ years as a top-selling Realtor of Hudson Valley country homes, Joseph provides top-quality customer service for each of his clients. As he understands real estate is a substantial investment, he works hard to ensure his clients are protected through the process of purchasing and selling, negotiations and inspections, ensuring his client's interests are vigilantly represented. On the listing side, Joseph brings in all the best stylists, staging professionals, photographers and video producers to most effectively showcase the beauty and appeal of each home he represents. His relationships with the best local professionals - including attorneys, builders, land surveyors, contractors, STR managers, etc. make the home buying and selling processes so much easier for his clients.
Joseph’s background includes a diverse career of multi-genre music performance and production in Manhattan, Boston, London and LA, as well as a love of organic and biodynamic gardening, sustainable ethical food production, sales and marketing in the organic food business, a current passion for playing tennis, and regular travel to Europe and Central America.
On a dead-end road in lovely Chatham, NY, Joseph and his wife have cultivated a 5-acre homestead, surrounded by diverse organic, biodynamic and edible forest gardens. His experience founding and running Archaea Organics (a local organic, fair trade food production company producing 20 USDA-certified organic products in a solar-powered facility), demonstrates his commitment to high-quality organic food and environmental sustainability. He and his wife are huge supporters of their local Food Co-op and local organic farmers in Chatham.
Joseph has an enormous passion for selling real estate in the Hudson Valley because he personally understands the migration from the hectic Manhattan working world to a more peaceful and inspiring life surrounded by natural beauty, as he now works from home in the Hudson Valley. This is own personal story - thereby making it easy for him to sell to NYC buyers looking for a change of lifestyle – whether for weekends, summers, ski season, or a permanent new relaxing reality north of the city. Enjoying the vibrant beauty, rich culture and endless variety of fabulous local restaurants, Joseph has found the perfect home and life in the Hudson Valley, and he’s happy to help sell this to his clients.
